How to increase hb level or iron in body i'm anemic become tired and looking pale?

Cause of anemia: Your physician will tell you if this is iron-deficiency anemia from your periods / past or present pregnancies. If it isn't, he/she will offer the best treatment. If it is, the choice is between oral iron supplements, injectable iron, and a diet rich in iron -- seek guidance if you opt for only the latter as there's bad information out there.
